Leicester sack Craig Shakespeare after four months in charge of former Premier League champions
Former England boss Allardyce, Wales coach Coleman, Burnley manager Dyche and Zenit St Petersburg chief Mancini all in the running for Foxes hot seat
Leicester City have confirmed the sacking of Craig Shakespeare, just four months after handing him a permanent contract to manage the former Premier League champions.
Shakespeare, 53, was promoted from his role as assistant coach on an interim basis following the shock dismissal of Claudio Ranieri in February and in June he was handed a three-year contract.
But the 2015-16 champions have struggled this season and are third from bottom of the table with a single league win.
Leicester vice-chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said on Tuesday: “Craig has been a great servant to Leicester City – during his spells as an assistant manager and since taking over as manager in challenging circumstances in February.
“His dedication to the club and to his work has been absolute and the contribution he made to the most successful period in Leicester City history is considerable.
